That said, @Swampy the exhibit was very much not empty when I visited Chester a little more than a week ago there were several members of staff adding anti-climb overhangs to the fencing and sprucing up the vegetation planted both within and surrounding the enclosure.
The planting within the exhibit is pretty damn good; just needs some fauna to go alongside the flora now
Ooh, sounds like progress, and anti-climb overhangs make some of the prior suggestions more likely...what are the chances of it being occupied by the time I come back up north for the Christmas holidays?
